Weight is mass x gravity, a neurton star has infinate mass and produces it's own gravity. So no it would have no weight because it is not relative to a larger body producing gravity. But it does have infinate density squashing matter down to that limit, I can never spell his name, the guy who came up with the limit.

A neutron star is a mass of about 2.5 solar masses squeezed into a sphere about 12 km in diameter.

Most people treat weight and mass as the same. So when an astronomer says a star or planet weighs such and such, he really means that it has a mass that would weigh that much on Earth. It is just to avoid long explanations about how mass and weight are different. Explanations that most people either don't understand or that they think are a trivial technicality. That is how most people think of the distinction between weight and mass, as a trivial technicality.

A neutron star had a very dense gravitational displacement. Its is the closest step to a black hole woth out being a black hole. Eventuly the star will colapse gravity and create a black hole. The weight is relative to density.

weight is the pull of gravity on an object-a neutron star has very little weight because very little gravity is pulling on it from outside sources. it does have immense mass though
